Robbert Flick: Trajectories

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRobbert Flick`s work extends the same visual, philosophical, and theoretically fertile tradition set by the highly influential and iconoclastic Robert Heinecken. But while Heinecken`s emphasis can be said to rely on the manner in which images function within the intersection of popular culture and the fine arts, Flick has characteristically concentrated more intently on the artifactual, conceptual, and receptive properties of photography--specifically landscape photography. The distinctive retinal and conceptual strength of Flick`s work has been evident since his early essay-format images of the 1960s. In his more recent digital work, he extends his participation in the critical discourse established around the interpretation, evaluation,and assessment of visual constructs related to the landscape. And yet, this movement has only become possible through a conceptual transition from a position of creating unique objects to an emphasis on interactivity and multiple… [detailed...]

Robbing Us Blind: The Return of the Bush Gang and the Mugging of America

Publisher: —
Description: A century ago, Kansas farmers called them `The Robber Barons` and Teddy Roosevelt singled them out as `malefactors of great wealth.` Steve Brouwer rigorously marshals the devastating evidence and indicts the Bush Gang for encouraging a corporate crimewave (Savings and Loan scandals of the 1980s, Harkin and Halliburton, Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Anderson) and promoting the greatest economic inequality since the 1920s. While Brouwer teases the Bushes for following the `Skull and Bones` flag of their elite Yale club, he also -levels the serious charge that they are `pirates.` The richest 1% of Americans grabs 20.3% of our national income. They have overwhelmed democracy with campaign bribery. Brouwer`s book is indispensable to ousting the buccaneers. Steve Brouwer has been writing for two decades. [detailed...]

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Inspiring Story of One Man`s Service to His Country and How It Saved His LifeGrowing up poor and black in the segregated South, Robert knew he had to do something with his life if he was to avoid an eternal prison of poverty. Like so many others, he found an escape hatch in the United States Army. But then he got a whole lot more than he bargained for. Robbobell chronicles Robert`s remarkable journey from messed-up kid to GI, drill instructor and finally, educator. This candid and often humorous memoir takes readers behind the scenes of black life in the 1950s South, when saying the wrong thing to the wrong person could earn a potentially dangerous rebuke. From there, the narrative moves to Robert`s Army experiences as he yearns for a better life. Through boot camp, jump school and service in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, Robert learns the core values in wartime, staying alive and looking out for your buddies, don`t include anything about race.

We know the urgency of that question because bitterness has sometimes made us exiles.~My first attempt to describe the region in a book ( The New West , 1974) omitted pictures that might have helped. I am grateful now to be able to reproduce them. They record a geography that is still in some respects characteristic, one where we could do better but where the rest is faultless.~At about the time I took the pictures I read an interview with Raoul Coutard, Jean-Luc Godard`s cameraman.

Robert Ball and the Politics of Social Security

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In the second half of the twentieth century, no one exerted more influence over Social Security than Robert Ball, who in 1947 wrote what became the key statement defining why social insurance, not welfare, should be America’s primary income maintenance program. This policy-oriented biography surveys the history of Social Security from 1950 to the present through the eyes of the public servant most crucial to its development. Drawing on exclusive access to Robert Ball’s papers and Ball’s own extensive oral memoir created for this project, Edward D. Berkowitz explains how Social Security came to be America’s most important social welfare program. Ball’s role in expanding coverage to moreworkers during the period between 1950 and 1972, as well as in supporting the indexing of benefits to the rate of inflation, directly affected the lives of senior citizens and the overall U.

Robert Bresson: A Spiritual Style in Film

2004 y.
Publisher: Continuum International Publishing Group
Description: Book DescriptionAlthough Robert Bresson is widely regarded by movie critics and students of the cinema as one of the greatest directors of the twentieth century, his films are largely unknown and are rarely shown in the English-speaking world. Nonetheless, Susan Sontag has called Bresson `the master of the reflective mode in film.` The present book, which introduces Bresson`s movies to a broader audience, assesses thirteen of his most significant films in the context of detailed plot summaries, vivid descriptions of characters and settings, and perceptive, jargon-free insights into the director`s execution, intention, and technique. Among these films, made between 1943 and 1983, are Diary of a Country Priest, A Man Escaped, Pickpocket, The Trial ofJoan of Arc, Au Hasard Balthasar, Mouchette, A Gentle Woman, Lancelot of the Lake, and L`Argent. Each of these films in its own way illustrates what Joseph Cunneen calls Bresson`s `spiritual style.` Though not necessarily focused… [detailed...]

Robert Brownjohn: Sex and Typography

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Robert Brownjohn`s cult status is justly deserved. Although his career lasted less than a quarter century, he created more signature pieces than many designers who work three times as long, consistently producing work of the highest quality. Born in New Jersey in 1925, he was taught by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy at the Chicago Institute of Design (formerly the New Bauhaus) in the 1940s. He worked in New York in the 1950s and spent the 1960s at the epicentre of swinging London on the King`s Road. Best known for his title sequences for the Bond films `From Russia With Love` (1963) and `Goldfinger` (1964), he produced numerous other influential pieces, and his impact on American and British design was unmistakable. Brownjohn`s death in 1970 deprived graphic design of one of its most brilliant and original minds. [detailed...]

Robert Burns: Selected Poems

1996 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: The educated son of a poor cotter, Burns became known for his rustic background, his fraternity with the working man, his Jacobite loyalty and his amorous entanglements. Yet his contribution to literature is immense. His use of dialogue and colloquial speech is comparable to that of Chaucer and Byron, but is also uniquely his own. He liberated the language, allowing freedom to the Romantic movement, and his use of old folk tunes enormously enhanced the Scottish musical tradition. With imaginative zest he satirized the Scottish community and offered shrewd insight into human nature. Although he was supremely aware of local concerns - religion and politics in particular - his work transcends the parochial and is now admired internationally for its depth of vision.
